Chapter 247 The Bad Guy Appears

"What do you mean just for me? Don't throw dirty water on me. All I want is the same as everyone else. Why can't my family get any venison or pork? Even if my two children don't share, I should at least get my share!" Ye Li argued, "You said there's a basis for that. I'd like to see what that basis is!"

"You——" The counting guy was speechless.

At this time, a man came up from behind the counting boy. He had a thin and long face, deep eye sockets, and a pair of bright eyes. He looked like a person who was not easy to mess with.

He walked up, a smile on his face, and said, "What's going on?"

"Second Elder!" The warehouse staff around him all bowed their heads and saluted.

Second Elder? Ye Li muttered to himself, why hadn't he heard of this person before?

The second elder took a booklet, flipped through it, and said, "Miss Ye Li, is that right? According to the rules of our tribe, you can only take so much prey. You cannot get any venison or pork."

"Why?" Ye Li asked in confusion.

"Yesterday, when the warehouse was filled with grain, you insisted on taking twice as much back. According to tribal rules, you can only take less prey today." The second elder said with a smile, "Miss Ye, please take these back and don't make things difficult for us who are working according to forest laws. Besides, there are so many people waiting in line behind us, and everyone has things to do later. Please don't waste their time."

Ye Li said with a smile, "I was wondering why we gave them more food yesterday. I thought those two were guilty and gave them more food, but I didn't expect them to be waiting here."

"What do you mean?" The Second Elder's face turned cold. "Miss Ye, we are all part of the tribe, we are one family, and we all follow the rules. You seem to be trying to sow discord by saying this."

"Yeah, just because you are a hero in the forest tribe, you have to be different from others?" The young man who was counting also questioned.

Ye Li sneered. She just wanted fairness, but these people accused her of being arrogant and self-righteous.

Li Yuan was standing nearby. He smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's just some venison and pork. Just share it. Wouldn't it be better if everyone had a share?"

"What do you know?" The Second Elder glanced at him with a sharp gaze. He said with great authority, "The laws of the Forest Tribe cannot be broken because of one person. Otherwise, no one in the tribe will obey the laws in the future. Without laws, wouldn't the entire tribe be in chaos?"

"I'm willing to share my prey with Ye Li." Suddenly a voice rang out. It was Xiao Xun's voice! Ye Li recognized it and turned to look in the direction Xiao Xun came from.

Xiao Xun walked over and handed the prey in his hand to Ye Li. He said, "Ye Li has done so much for the Forest Tribe. She risked her life to go to Lonely City to get seeds, and worked hard on the farm all day long, all for the Forest Tribe to have their own farm, so they wouldn't be restricted by others. And she has done it. Didn't we share a lot of vegetables yesterday? Moreover, if it weren't for Ye Li, all this prey would have been given to the Farmland Tribe, and they wouldn't have gotten a share!"

"I'm willing to share my prey with Ye Li." A person stepped out from the crowd. It was Dan Cai. She took a piece of wild boar meat, walked over, and placed it in Ye Li's basket. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "You deserve this."

"I'll give mine to Ye Li too!"

One after another, people came forward and shared some of their share of the prey with Ye Li to express their gratitude for Ye Li's contribution to the tribe.

"You, you guys--" The second elder was so angry that his face turned blue. He felt that he had lost all face. He just wanted to kill Ye Li's prestige, but he didn't expect that he would kill his own prestige instead. He lost face.
